Typepad has just entered the microblogging fray with its new Chroma theme. I'm sure there will be more to follow.

Right now the only way I'm using Posterous is as a personal photo blog. I set it up so I can text Posterous photos taken from my cell phone and it's posted for me automatically! I just add a few words for a description in the subject line and I've got a post title, too. Easy cheesy!

I took the cheek's advice and set up an account and posted one post with it. Everything you say was true, however…. I think it depends on your blogging style & cadence. I'm not as rigorous about regular posting as you guys, and tend instead to stew over a blog post… I have seven or eight long pieces in draft in WordPress right now. I doubt the world holds its breath of course By the way, is there a way in Posterous to have a link be embedded, i.e. have the text “read about it in this article” actually be the link, without having a long URL appear like nytimes.com/news/tech/alsekgho03i4u0iv193562095809dfkhlvolitlsdhlksjhfjReadTheWallStreetJournalInstead0894teigkdholahrgoi ? Don't know why I'm asking you guys, unless you're volunteer Help Support

I tend to agree – love the O'Reilly piece, btw. I think people don't realize how simple Posterous actually is, and how much of a simplicity-upgrade it is to other blogging software. But they'll see. OH, they'll see.

I honestly cannot figure out why people don't love Posterous as much as I do. My guess? They haven't tried it: http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/10/why-posterous-...
